Our first day back to school

Our first day back to school was actually 3 weeks ago. As I did last spring, I took first day of school photos. Below is one of the photos which shows some of the beauties of homeschooling for us... a typical, or not so typical day.



Just done with breakfast, no hair brushed, Emma dressed as a mermaid, and... who's that in the background... silly Aunt Dawn doing a 1st day back to school dance. We were lucky enough to have Aunt Dawn overnight so we shared our first day back to school with her. She's been visiting from her home on St. Thomas "aka, Aunt Dawny's Island" for a month already and she's planning on staying until September 30th. She's been such a wonderful help to our family in this season. I'll post more on that later.
